answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2014 answer text <p>I can confirm that the Government has not commissioned specific research into victims and survivors of Northern Ireland-related acts of terrorism who reside inGreat Britain. In 2012 the Ministry of Justice commissioned and published an Evidence and Practice Review which looked in depth at the needs of victims inEngland andWales. This has informed both the commissioning approach to national services for victims such as the Homicide Service and the development of an outcomes-based commissioning framework to be drawn upon by Police and Crime Commissioners when commissioning local services for victims.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that victims of the most serious crimes should receive enhanced entitlements to support from the Criminal Justice organisations in England and Wales, and this is set out in the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime published in October 2013.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bermondsey and Old Southwark answering member printed Simon Hughes grouped question UIN 204451 question first answered 15/07/2014 16:42:25 answering member 194 label Biography information for Simon Hughes
